to look for and he's explained how he was going to carry out this act so you can maybe understand why this anger among community here that he wasn't before he was allowed to carry out his crimes he expressed violent anti muslim views he was briefly a member of the progress party here in norway which is anti immigrant and the ruling labor party is who we attacked first through a blast in the city center the government headquarters were hit by a car bomb that apparently he went to an oil and just outside where he attacked a group of children he was dressed in a police uniform he had a gun and he was shouting i'll kill everyone everyone must die we have pictures of children swimming for survival hiding in the rocks and dramatic pictures of a ten year old boy being saved so the tragedy of a nation really hear more now in this report brave christine who was hit by the local bomb explosion in days and surrounded by broken globes she stayed in the

blows to help the wounded the waitress just standing chaffing and then suddenly you could just fade i was like i come like a fish just waiting for your bobbing lofted out like last bits and their eyes have been you know they got smashed glass all over them the skin and everything this show. victims before giving its whole drinks as a nation which has never suffered at the hands of terrorists before he says norwegians just didn't know how to react. strong. buildings. people told things gaming. this man's wife suffered severe short when their windows were blown out by the blast but he says they're lucky to be alone he's thoughts go out to the men the young victims of the second attack i think about. to shoot the most.

so there are some lists are accustomed to atrocities produced many acts of heroism but the dust settles on the world's worst mass shooting experts say there's also go to the attacks were allowed to happen in the first place and get the truth or ignored dozens of hate messages from suspect. you haven't really been prepared for right wing extremism expressed fury at the government's open door policy on immigration blogs and twitter feeds. the shootings may reflect growing national opposition to fully immigration policies the political establishment of more of a are relatively well off people that live in areas where there are simply no immigrants so there's a poor people in northern being pushed out of places they used to live live in and it's also their drops in jeopardy muslims claim there's disappointment that the

killer turned out to be white they want this guy to be muslim or how muslim you know. it's for them it's a little bit strange because he's in the region so they talk too much about it and about us. it is not good norwegians are said to be fed up with their brand of what's been dubbed radical liberalism it's the country's multicultural policies to turn the government against his own. way. far. wider than. ready to admit and there's a polite and respectful attitude towards that kind of. mainstream media but the reality is that fifty percent of new winton's are against multiculturalism as people here try to pick up the pieces and bring meaning to this twitter already saying it will sell relations between communities some expect the crackdown by police. growing for right movement all of the spear this will only fuel resentment

against europe's muslims victims are beginning to piece together this show but the experts warn this might not be the law's such a toke as the perceived food of a multicultural society grows the new bush will see oslo. for more and more of a strategy let's talk to investigative journalist tony gasoline and he joins us live now thank you very much for being on the program and would best to get us are trying to determine whether address brave is simply a diversion a loner or part of a far right group what are your thoughts on about his motivations when i think we know full well that there are many neo nazis right across the world who and particularly in europe and this is probably the first time that we've seen such a bigger tank by neo nazi group i mean i think anders breivik thought he was some kind of teutonic knights from medieval times because he's echoing the kind of crusader attitude and it's

a very strange version of christianity that he. is he says he's a christian i don't think he is maybe the same kind of strange version of christianity that bush and blair have been coming out with over the last ten years or so so i think that this is actually the tip of an iceberg there's actually quite a lot of this neo nazi activity out there and now i think the antiterrorist or thought he's right across the world are going to have to take this brand of terrorism much more seriously ok you're say that there's a bit of an increase in that kind of thinking brave it himself said he wanted to attack the structure of society making reference obviously to be a growing muslim population do you think that really more people are thinking this way and could this really be a sign that multiculturalism is failing in europe. well yes it does seem that he really was trying to attack democracy because this is the way things are this is the way people want to be so if he's attacking that he's attacking everybody by doing it i would also add that it was interesting that the police said they never

come across him before the norwegian police but i wonder very much i wonder if the secret service in norway has been watching him because it was very strange that when he was first arrested on friday the police actually called out his name to him now is very i would be amazed if they would have actually known as they first approached him what his name was i would have thought that from the arrest point that's where the investigation would have started from his ears say that it on one hand it did come as a surprise that because this is the first ever terrorist attack in norway the police had said so could it be argued that the country just wasn't particularly particularly prepared for this kind of an attack and could this be in our harsher anti terror laws think it's probably fair to say that most of europe is not prepared for this kind of attack we did have two years ago in britain in the arrest of a couple of what you may call neo nazis certainly far right people who had an arms cache in cumbria in northern england but nothing that they were actually able to

carry out an attack so it's becoming pretty clear now that is a whole different strand of terrorism potentially out there and particularly worrying is that he was a freemason and as declared that he was a freemason i would imagine that the norwegian police are now going to be talking to other all the other members of any masonic lodges that he was in because this seems to be the place where this kind of fake christian rather nasty racist ideology was cooked up ok let's just quickly talk about the time in prison for him now they say that a maximum time for terrorism is twenty one years do you think it could be extended to make the punishment harsher. well i think that they should just allow justice to run its course over in norway that's the best attitude don't come in with any new draconian laws this guy obviously needs to go down if that's what the jury finds and let's make sure that he's not free to roam the streets because what concerns me is some of the right wing terrorists we've had in europe over the last thirty forty

years really still are this is from the operation gladio and other similar operations by nato still are walking the streets ok well thank you very much for your insight there investigative journalist a tony gosling the live from london thank you well the whole world is now discussing what lies behind the atrocity in norway you can join the debate on our web site r.t. dot com and looking at the chart now so far the majority think the sheer fanaticism is to blame well fewer people say the tension stems from multiculturalism we have eight percent there believing the reason is global terrorism which penetrates everywhere and the rest say it's down to the failure of security forces while log on to r.t. dot com and have your say on the matter. and still ahead for you in the program nato begins handing over control of afghan provinces to local army forces but many question if they're really up to the job. plus we hear from campaign arce against

a u.s. drone attacks in pakistan who want to fire a lawsuit at a former cia legal team for approving attacks that killed hundreds of innocent people. now greece relief this week out softer long talks e.u. leaders finally agreed on how to help the country avoid defaulting on its debt lothian's will now receive a new bailout worth an estimated one hundred nine billion euros and the plan was agreed after greece approved severe austerity measures sending thousands onto the streets in protest and the rescue will also involve lowering interest rates on greek debt and extending the repayment period the package also doubles the time given to bankrupt portugal and ireland to pay back their own loans meanwhile spain which has the highest unemployment rate in the euro zone saw thousands of protesters converged on madrid on saturday they camped out in the city center after marching from across the country but financial analysts that scars are says bailouts only plunge people deeper into debt. it increases the amount of debt it

increases the amount of debt in the eurozone it is crease of the amount of debt in greece so this is a plan cooked up by bankers to repackage recent. research. that's what they do and it crowds out the real economy so if they think that this is going to help the economy grow their way to a position of paying off this debt or paying the interest on the debt that's not going to happen because by giving bankers more dead to control the productive part of the economy you are eliminating that part of the economy's ability to pay off this debt so the banking cancer is just becoming worse in the eurozone and worse in greece will bring out the banks there. not bailing out the workers or the people who are the ground so to speak they're bailing out european banks they're bailing out wall street banks they're bailing out other banks and so doing they're increasing the debt load so it is making the situation much worse and they're

crowding out any ability for the work workers in greece to generate enough income to pay off this debt this is consigning the population to debt servitude. fears of a default also rage across the atlantic as barack obama's meeting with congressional leaders failed to bring about agreement but the u.s. treasury secretary says that congress is working on a framework and the goal is to finalize a deal before asian markets open on sunday afternoon while congress must approve raising its current fourteen point three trillion dollars debt ceiling before august the second to avoid default of the impact of america failing to pay its massive debts would shake the entire world economy the deal offered by president obama includes slashing medical and social benefit costs but democrats and republicans are divided over the details of balancing spending cuts and tax raises and as investigative journalists greg says it's ordinary americans will have to foot the government's bills. george bush when he was president from two thousand

and one to two thousand and eight when allah why i don't suspect he had a surplus given to me six billion dollars a year by bill clinton turned that into a six hundred million dollars per year deficit adding three trillion dollars us eric cantor voted for all those bush's wars in iraq or the weapons for the tax cuts now these guys don't want to pay the bill somehow but compromise means that these this in dollars will be paid for by eliminating benefits for the working class the american people the elderly people on social security didn't encourage the debts veterans receiving better veterans benefits didn't increase the debt it was the result of bush's wars bush's tax cuts while spending for these programs now are the beneficiaries basically people who got the money don't want to

pay it back. all this week of the phone hacking and police bribery scandal was taken to the british parliament rupert murdoch his son james and a former u.k. c.e.o. or back of bricks were all grilled by british lawmakers for several hours while the trio said they were deeply sorry for what happened however new allegations have emerged that the news international chairman james murdoch misled m.p.'s by saying he was unaware of the true extent of illicit phone tapping by his company's reporters that murdoch's could now face legal challenges in the u.s. over claims the voice mails of nine eleven victims were also targeted meanwhile of britain's hacking scandal appears to be spreading beyond the murdoch empire which claims the sunday mirror tabloid also bought celebrities voicemail messages those artes gay and if you check out reports critics believe the issue is just the tip of the iceberg in a society that no longer values individual privacy. as the scandal over phone

hacking by the murdoch's media empire rages on public and political fury has mainly focused on ruthless tabloids out of control prepared to invade people's private lives and even the dad to get the story but some say in this day and age the whole concept of privacy is falling apart and in the u.s. more rapidly than elsewhere every time you tap on your cell or click on google or use your mail service everybody's sort of just clicks through that you agree to our terms and conditions well those terms and conditions are very very heavily weighted against you and your privacy interests we see breaches of privacy happening. all across america all across the world really in every sector surveillance is rampant but really this is all a microcosm of the biggest surveille are all which is the state there's little americans can do with the state having sweeping access to their private information access that followed the nine eleven terrorist attacks under

a new law known as the patriot act. asana law his privacy was taken away from him in two thousand and two when he was detained by the f.b.i. for absolutely no reason he says and scrutinized for months without charge he's response for nine years he has voluntarily documented nearly every waking hour of his life on the web he has subsequently even turned it into a form of art see all the toilets that i've used so you know that over here for example you know that on sunday november twenty fourth of two thousand and seven i've used this toilet i went grocery shopping at safeway over there on october seventeenth i got gas over here he posts copies of every debit card transaction so you can see what he bought where and when a g.p.s. device in his pocket reports his realtime physical location on a map and this is the shot he took on his way to our studio which was immediately up loaded on his website hasan says his extraordinary abandonment of his own

privacy stems from the ignorance of the authorities but in the fear they decided well that guy looks a little different so he must be arab and if he's arab then he must have explosives everyone knows that that's a logic we're operating we we realize how ridiculous that logic sounds but when your country when your own country takes that on as the basis for national policy. ignorance is the basis of national policy is a pretty scary situation. and that's how i got caught up in it for haasan privacy has become a rally of the past and he says he's not surprised that journalists or anyone else really would use the same surveillance tactics as the state in that sense it might be of no surprise that the chief architect of the patriot act the lawyer who put it together happens to be one of murdoch's hand-picked used for gore directors served as assistant attorney general in the bush administration and was described by some as the purveyor of the most sweeping curtailment of freedom in the u.s.

since the mccarthy era at a time when corporations and the government can easily hack into people's private lives it doesn't come as a surprise when for example social networks give your personal information and companies or when other industries leave bob breaching the privacy in the u.s. it's so widespread and people have gotten so used to it that rupert murdoch seems to be perfect part of the system rather than some special bill and with corporation has been undertaking some unique all lawful practices because here in america they are not so unique i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team well if you've missed anything we're covering on air you can head to our web site r t v dot com or there's always more to be found and here's a taste of what's online right now uncover a mystery find out why every july since the eight hundred eighty s. california bloods have been filled with some of the most wealthy and powerful men

a day after two high speed trains crashed china killing thirty five people and injuring two hundred rescuers pulled a small top floor from the wreckage one of the bullet trains was forced to stop after being struck by lightning and was then hit by the second train from behind two of the coaches fell from a bridge as a result of the crash it was the first derailment of china's high speed rail network since the country launched bullet trains in two thousand and seven. a car bomb has killed eight soldiers in the evans coastal city of aden the blast took place near the entrance of an army camp as a convoy of vehicles packed with troops was about to leave officials said they were being sent to fight al qaeda linked militants in a nearby province the country has been hit by months of anti-government protests including clashes between security forces and armed groups. a host of celebrities and friends paid tribute to british soldiers as diva amy winehouse who

was found dead in her london flat on saturday police say the cause of her death remains unexplained the twenty seven year old star won a myriad of awards including five grammys for her music and had been hailed as one of the most talented singers of her age her success was often overshadowed by well documented battles with drugs and alcohol also the subject of her hit song rehab last month she canceled her european tour after being booed off stage during a performance in serbia. now in the latest operations led by nato and afghan forces sixteen insurgents have been killed of a country south now the raid comes in response to renewed taliban activity as nato begins a gradual withdrawal from afghanistan where the plan is to recall all foreign combat troops by the end of twenty fourteen and nato has a new military commander in the country general john allen once of quote tough times ahead for the war effort well earlier this. the afghan president's half brother was assassinated by one of his own bodyguards and in

a separate incident one of habit karzai top advisors was also got down at the war activist brian becker thinks the u.s. led coalition is losing ground in afghanistan well the number of casualties continues to rise. they can't win by staying in fact their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the taliban but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the u.s. and nato were defeated by an armed insurgency but this dilemma must be solved some way so ultimately the united states cannot prevail the assassination of karzai as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to give afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling and attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of

the karzai government the u.s. is losing grown steadily it's spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crumbling i would say the u.s. hasn't gained anything i think the u.s. is losing ground and spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. the u.s. has been carrying out a mad drone strikes in pakistan for years but now one of the masterminds of the attacks is in the crosshairs himself former cia official john rizzo faces a lawsuit over civilian casualties and human rights lawyer says the families of victims are seeking an arrest warrant against him it's claimed rezone approved

a list of targets for the drone strikes which often resulted in scores of civilian deaths tara murray is a member of the campaign group that's bringing the action against reso and she told r.t. that washington must be held to account for its operations in pakistan. thus far these drones have been operating in pakistan and the federal law federal administration and tribal areas fata they've been operating in secret by the cia and they've been killing indiscriminately hundreds of civilians since although the purpose of this is is hopefully to gets a transparent see out of out of the cia and out of obama and to to get some justice on behalf of the victims of these drone strikes as we know the u.s. is not in a war in pakistan the u.s. it is operating extra legally by carrying out these drone strikes in pakistan in yemen and somalia and in terms of it being disproportionate you know we have numbers coming out of pakistan that indicate that you know for every one suspected

militants being killed one hundred forty innocent civilians are dying as a result of these strikes and so if those numbers are correct you know we have people on the ground who are who are gathering the information who are doing the investigation to try to collect the information so that we can bring a more transparent more honest picture to the public about what's happening in pakistan. shortly we talked to a man who's joined a very exclusive club one of the few to have reached beyond earth's atmosphere and fewer still to have walked on the moon surface about south for wider of this week's top stories in just a few moments. toomy
